Frontcover mountable with a photograph for books and its manufacturing method

Abstract

A frontcover mountable with a photo for books is made of two layers of hard board, having an opening in an outer layer. A cover paper having an opening corresponding to the opening of the outer layer of the hard board is adhered on an outer surface of the outer layer, with one side unadhered to allow a photo inserted through a gap between the both to expose out of the opening. Its manufacturing method includes eight steps.

What is claimed is:

A frontcover mountable with a photograph for books and its manufacturing method, said frontcover being made to have an opening for a photograph to expose out thereof after inserted through an entrance of an unadhered side of the frontcover adhered with a cover paper according to eight steps of the manufacturing method comprising: a first step: cutting incompletely a center vertical line on a hard board cut properly so as to permit said hard board folded with a first half on a second half at said center vertical line to form a slight gap between said two halves folded on each other;   a second step: cutting out an opening in said first half of said hard board, said opening located at a proper place of said first half;   a third step: adhering a beautiful background paper on an inner side of said second half;   a fourth step: cutting out an opening in a cover paper to be adhered on an outer side of said first half, said opening being a little smaller than that of said opening of said first half of said hard board but corresponding to the shape of said opening of said first half;   a fifth step: cutting plural short cuts at four corners of said opening of said cover paper to form plural foldable portions;   a sixth step: placing said cover paper on the outer side of said first half of said hard board and folding said foldable portions over edges of said opening of said first half onto the inner side of said first half;   a seventh step: adhering inner sides of said folded portions on said inner side of said first half of said hard board; and   an eighth step: adhering an inner side of said cover paper on the outer side of said first half of said hard board, leaving an unadhered side with an entrance for inserting a photograph therethrough to be exposed out of said opening of said first half of said hard board.
